Hello *,
I've been trying to (re)construct a .mailmap file[1] in ghc.git which
allows `git shortlog` and `git log --use-mailmap` (and possibly other
tools/commands) to fixup bogus author-ids when displaying the Git
history, in the hopes to provide a more complete history of GHC and all
contributors involved.
I've been able to infer mappings for most users, but I'm stuck on a
couple of older account usernames dating back a decade ago for which I
have no idea what real names to associate with. These are specifically:
$ git shortlog -es | grep unknown
16 apt <unknown>
1 cryder <unknown>
13 desrt <unknown>
8 dnt <unknown>
1 geoffw <unknown>
12 gla <unknown>
3 josefs <unknown>
5 krc <unknown>
1 kw <unknown>
5 kw217 <unknown>
1 mbs <unknown>
1 moran <unknown>
3 njn <unknown>
8 ralf <unknown>
11 rje <unknown>
1 sseefried <unknown>
1 tgedell <unknown>
1 uid245 <unknown>
1 umuta <unknown>
1 y.zhuang5 at lse.ac.uk <unknown>
If you happen to know who these past contributors are, please either
tell me or update [1] accordingly. Moreover, if you stumble over any
wrong entry in [1], feel free to correct it.
Thanks,
hvr
